It's a good little drop for that young puppy to go. We've had animals dropped over the larger fence lines, and animals with broken legs.

When the puppy licked my hand, we all knew he was the one for us

That could mitigate the bearish impact of a surge in placement rates, since the younger animals tend to take longer to finish, which in turn implies a wider spread of exit dates (as fed cattle) for them.

We were, like, 12 or 13 and it was like, 'Hi, do you like me?' ... It was just like puppy love.

We dropped some games earlier in the season where if our defense had been better, we would have had a better chance.

Being 7-0 is real, real good. I haven't been on this side of the fence since high school. I don't have an explanation for the last few games. I've just had a couple of great games.
